Strategies

Establish transportation services for areas with low population densities using publicly funded buses and vans on a set schedule, dial-a-ride transit, volunteer ridesharing, etc.

Provide health care services on school premises to attending elementary, middle, and high school students; physical and mental health services provided by teams of nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians

Create designated tax districts that generate revenue to invest in affordable housing initiatives, blight remediation, and economic development efforts

Establish time-limited, subsidized, paid jobs to help individuals with barriers to employment transition to unsubsidized employment

Arrange active transportation with a fixed route, designated stops, and pick up times when children can walk to school with adult chaperones

Provide participating high school students with professional opportunities that combine academic and on-the-job training or mentorship
